Listing Description

Check out the possibilities for this over 2,500 square foot Victorian home in Des Moines' historic Riverbend neighborhood. It was last used as a duplex but could easily be converted back to a single-family home with an oversized 1 car garage. Keep it as a duplex and you can qualify for state of Iowa Historic Tax Credits after the restoration is complete.

Restore the front porch and have a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy family and friends while you watch the sunset. The home could be brought back and restored to a 4 or 5 bedroom home or stay with the current configuration as a 2 bedroom apartment upstairs and 3 bedroom on the first floor. The rooms are large so the home has tons of potential. Reach out if you have questions about the state Historic Tax Credits, Tax Abatements, or NFC financing available for this property.
